See Solid Disk Component Cooking Guide on pages 14 and 15.

General Information About
Solid Disk Elements

Using a solid disk element is quite

similar to using an electric open
coil element. You will enjoy the

benefits of prolonged heat
retention for cooking with both
types of cooking elements.
However, there are important
differences:

● 

Solid disk elements transfer heat

evenly and well. They do not glow
“red hot,” even at the HI heat
setting.  Be careful not to touch an
element directly until it has
completely cooled.

● 

Solid disk elements reach

cooking temperature a little slower,
and hold heat longer than electric
open coil elements. Solid disk
elements have very even heat
distribution. Since solid disk
elements hold heat longer, you
may wish to turn the element off

sooner, and take advantage of the

residual heat. The amount of
residual heat is dependent upon the
quantity and type of food, the
material and thickness of the pan
and the setting used for cooking.

 

● 

There is retained heat in the

element. When 

 occur,

wait for element to cool before
cleaning element area.

● 

Solid disk element cooking

provides easier cleanup because
the cooking surface is sealed
against spills. There are no drip
bowls or burner box to clean.

● 

You must use proper 

bottomed cookware.  Do not use
cookware that is warped, convex
or concave. Improper cookware
could cause unsatisfactory
cooking results. See page 13 for
cookware tips.

● 

See additional information about

care and cleaning on pages 24
and 28.

Before Using the
Solid Disk Elements
the First Time

The top working surface of
each solid disk element has a
protective coating. The
protective coating must be
hardened before using the
elements the first time and to
help protect the elements
over their life.

To harden this coating, the
elements should be briefly
heated without a pan (the
coating will stick to the pan).
Heat the elements for
approximately 5 minutes at HI

setting until the smoking stops
(this is normal).

Heating the elements will
change the stainless steel trim
rings to a gold color.
